The objective of this study is to investigate the formation of the “Leasing” street-houses in rural community through the gathering for trading or bartering purposes. Our attempt was to scrutinize the formation of these street-house layouts, the effect of their changes, and the factors that affected their evolution. Four observations were made as follows, 1. The flourishing of the “leasing” street-houses played an important role in transforming the gatherings held for mobile, irregular bartering into fixed and regular shops (or stores). 2. More than 60% of these houses were constructed in a small area that ranged between 9 and 15 Pings in Japanese measurement (a Ping is an area of 36 square feet), suggesting an economic, efficient control of the spatial need for living usage. 3. The street-houses includes two types: “individual” and “shop-room combined”. 4. The change of street-house ownership and family population caused the change and the remodelling of the houses, and gradually transformed them into “combined living-commerce” style houses. |
